| I don't know how big the cups are but white chocolate mousse topped with a fresh raspberry would be a killer. This is really good as long as you use a good brand of white chocolate: WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE 9 oz imported white chocolate, chopped 3large egg yolks 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar 1 1/4 cups chilled heavy cream Melt the white chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat. In a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the yolks & sugar until well combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan & beat in 1/4 cup of the cream. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate until well combined. Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold together the whipped cream & white chocolate mixture. Spoon into wine goblets & refrigerate until ready to serve.~~A Matter of Taste |

| Glad you liked it. Once in a GREAT while we get the tiny chocolate cups but not dessert size. I've always been tempted to make them by coating small inflated balloons but never have done it. |

| One Easter I made my own chocolate dessert cups and filled it with strawberry mousse. I was really easy , delicious and made a beautiful presentation. I don't have the recipe here with me right now, but I 'd be happy to find it if you are interested. Just let me know! Gina |

| Gina, I'm interested.. I noticed yesterday at Walmart that Wilton has silicone heart shaped cupcake holders..they would be perfect for chocolate cups. |
|
| I just made this filling which is super easy and delicious. I adapted it from Semi Homemade. 1 instant vanilla pudding mix (4 c. serving size) 1 cup ricotta cheese 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp. amaretto (or 1 tsp. almond extract) Mix all ingredients well with electric mixer.Pipe into shells. |
